Few artisans of the Quebec rap scene have the curriculum vitae of Farfadet. A veritable Swiss army knife of the movement, he has participated in its development for twenty years, first as a rapper, then as beatmaker and DJ, in particular in concert with the friend Souldia, who collaborates on two of the seven songs of In the future.

Let’s appreciate the contrast between the refinement of the productions and the roughness of the interpreter, in his scratchy voice as in his prosody which weighs each of his words.
